    What does magic offer that no other art does?

    I agree with Chris here; Does it truly matter if anything separates magic from anything else?

    Creating the Same Trick

    Thanks Chris! I've been doing the specific effects I'm talking about for about a year now, but keep coming up with new ones. I checked on Conjuring arts for the first effect, and found only 2 written records of similar effects, both done differently. By the way, does anyone know how to search...

    Hired as a magician( but don't know a lot of tricks)

    Great trick, but when did DB perform it?

    Phone appearance from air

    Yup. It is probably practical as a stage illusion. I doubt it is marketed due to the angles, but you never know. P.S. Your cat looks so cute in the picture xD Dang-it, now I have to go eat a bowl of nails WITHOUT MILK to regain any masculinity.

    Phone appearance from air

    It legit says in the caption: "Also: no camera tricks were used here. The illusions I create are all practical and can be performed in real life! #SkypeTogether #Magic" However, the move would end up being pretty angle sensitive I'm sure. Though it does say practical...

    Creating the Same Trick

    So whenever I create a completely original trick (effect or method), I always have a little panicky mind set. Part of me wants to release it instantly, thinking that somebody else will come across it the same way, but I know I should practice and perform the effect extensively to find all the...

    Another Back Design

    No I actually quite liked them. Are you still doing 4 different decks, or one with all 4 designs on it? If you are doing 1 design, You might want to put the sun and moon in Bottom Right & Top left corners, so one moon will cover both fall & Winter, while the sun covers spring and summer...

    Geek Magic

    So would Brian Brushwood's Bizzare Magic show qualify? And what about when David Blaine Stuck that needle through his arm & Hand.... And the fire spit. Or would those not count since those were real?

    Does he do any magic?

    Another Back Design

    Make it a bit longer, and maybe have it starting at the edge (that would make it look sick in a fan). Color it white, or Icy Blue, or even different colors for each sector.

    Collins Key

    A Ton of stuff. Just to name some stuff: The Raven Invisible Thread The Riffle Fan (Oh god, the amount of hate he got for that was amazing. The entire community was against him) Bizzare Twist (Without Paul Harris's Permission) The "Criss Angel" Color change (No idea where it actually...

    What does magic offer that no other art does?

    Hey I just thought of this:Why not flip the script? What do other art forms offer that magic doesn't? At the end of the day, aren't all entertainers and artists the same? A Poet tells a story, just as a comedian, an artist, a novelist, an actor, a director, a sports player, a...

    Another Back Design

    I feel as though the wind needs to stand out more. And if you get rid of the lines and blend it in a bit, that would be an epic single back design.

    What does magic offer that no other art does?

    From the audiences point of view - Magic lets you feel like a kid again, or brings back wonder. Same reason most magicians love getting fooled. Magic has been able to both affect culture and adapt to culture since pre-history - something no other art form has been able to do. Sure, you could...

    Master Grip & Deal

    I understand that my hand will hurt after dealing for a while but I get instant pain in my finger as soon as I get into the grip - not even beginning to deal yet.

    Opinions on the Masked Magician?

    @Josh Burch Game. Set. Match. I was half asleep when I wrote that. Totally forgot to think too much about most stage magicians. My bad. I also had no idea he was still performing. However, I'm gonna have to agree with @ChristopherT here - I think if someone customizes there routine and...

    Fear of Performance

    Wait I'm confused. You said you started studying magic about 10 months ago, but have studied for 4 years? Anyways, you shouldn't limit yourself. Yes, focus on what you want to focus on, but make sure you get a well rounded experience in magic so you truly know what to go for - you may want to...
